Nice, but doesn't look like it will have enough castor.

Graham, no it's not Simon, but a work associate of his, Jason. Simon also has an S1, but he's trying really really hard to just keep it 'nice and standard' as a fun and reliable road car, but...
I'm not sure if Jason is considering p/s, more about sorting out the suspension, engine management etc... it's just a stocky Mi16 initially.
A few conversions going on. Capago? Aquinian?
There is at least one I have heard of through word of mouth.... No details though.
Cheers

Parry, how much weight do you think the polly windows save?

It's apparently the same guy that had the imported red 1.9 that he advertised for nearly a year. He described it as immaculate and listed the price at $12k, then came down progressively to $8k, then created a new ad and started at $12k again, and so on... If he's going to adopt the same approach for the Mi16 it might be very good value once it comes down to $8k!

Would you like some? I'm just about to make some from 4mm polycarbonate.
No, but thanks for your offer Peter. Until my car gets defected, it will remain a compromise for the road. Eventually, I would love to go to town with the rear hatch etc as well.
On this note, do you think we can remove too much weight from the rear and upset the balance?
I'm wondering if there are any French car loving web designers who could add a feature to this site so we could put up individual cars with a nicely designed photo gallery, information, and comments section. Then I'm sure we'd get a lot more people taking the time to putting their info in.

I was wondering too.
There are probably a lot of computer savvy aussiefrogs capable of this.:wink2:
By the way, some of the 16v 205 spec sheets could now be updated.
